    I don’t see it happening at all over here but just out of curiosity I wondered who would be willing to pay for something like this.

    I know BoxNation is/was similar but I’m talking about a premium boxing channel with all the premium fights on home and abroad.

    £19.99 a month and you get the likes of the Whyte - Parker fight on, your BJS - GGG, your Khan - Brook’s. On top of that you got your standard Saturday night fight nights, so your Eubank’s, Crolla’s, Saunders all the time, Groves, Smith’s etc and then your next gen type with Kelly, Buatsi, Yarde, Dubois etc. But then you get your Mayweather - Pacquiao’s, Canelo - Golovkin’s, Wilder, Spence etc.

    I pay 6.99/7.99 for Netflix every month and I personally wouldn’t have a problem with paying around £20 a month year round for premium boxing with PPV’s then scrapped. How would the rest of you feel? As I said in the opening paragraph I don’t see it happening (mainly because of SKY).

    it wont happen in the uk you're right, but looking at it from Americas POV, Hearn is gonna have to sign a lot of good top level fighters to impact the market as showtime have a load of great fighters and events and unless hearn has some top fighters, i cant see the Americans being to keen on it unless hearn gets some world champions, however if they get the wbss on dazn and are showing the uk events and hearn does get some top fighters then i can see it being a success.
    As for the Uk, i think it would work well replacing ppv's, although regarding ur post you've mentioned warren and hearn fighters together which obviously wouldn't be the case

    Yeah I just used the fighters names to be objective really. BUT if a deal did come in to place like the American one, surely whoever owned/managed the “UK DAZN” would have power to snatch the top talent from both sides.

    yeah, surely it would be hearn. And Hearn has the power now to snatch any warren fighter running out of contract, with multiple shows in usa with hundreds of millions of pounds to spend on shows, its no question where uk fighters can earn the most money

    It really depends. Is that on top of normal Sky, BN, BT and PPV? Or all in one setup?

    Hearn said all the DAZN stuff will be shown on Sky anyway, which is something I am very thankful for

    @Scissors Your post sounds like an early advert for Boxnation back when they started.

    What happened to Hearn's fight pass? Seemed to die a death...

    All this is a moot point though of course as all the DAZN cards will be shown on Sky.

    All in one set up I was suggesting.

    And yeah it’s great for us UK fans that we get all the real DAZN shows on sky anyway.

    All of it on one platform for 20 quid? No qualms with that at all.

    From what I gather that’s what the US equivalent is trying to do?

    Hearn's shyte pass still exists but the Touts are still ahead of the game buying piles and monopolising ticket sales. The few fights you get on shyte pass not even worth sticking your arris on the pan.

    They might label it as that but I think there's too much competition in the market for it all to end up being shown under one banner.

    I remember BN starting and we were promised two british title fights a month, all for the price of a pint. We were lucky to get 1 in 6 months in the end.
    Aa long as the 20qid was value for money, id happily pay it

    The main irk of mine when it comes viewing boxing is the amount of platforms it is shown across.

    If the majority of British fighters and top international cards were shown on one platform I'd happily pay £20 per month. It's sickening that Sky charge £25 per month and then any half decent match ups get made PPV.

    I've got a funny feeling that if Hearn pulls it off in American with DAZN then we will eventually see a similar set up here.

    If you get the big fights too then yes, but if you then have to pay some sorta ppv for like an AJ fight then no
